Discovered, thanks to my copy editor, Robert Klein, that I had named one of my characters in an unintentionally humorous way. \u00a0Two-arcas Merkin is a character who kills two arcas (bear-like creatures) and becomes known for it. \u00a0Turns out, you may know this but I didn’t, a merkin is a pubic wig. \u00a0First, I didn’t know there were such things. \u00a0Second, as a result, I didn’t know they had a name. \u00a0It’s the kind of thing I’m glad somebody caught. \u00a0Geez.<\/p>\n

The weather outlook in Denver is consistent with what I’ve experienced several times over the Stock Show trips: \u00a050’s, high 50’s. \u00a0Always seems weird, but northern moving Gulf air pressed east by the Rocky Mountains brings spring like temperatures to winter Denver often. \u00a0Jon likes it. \u00a0I don’t. \u00a0I like my seasons true to themselves. \u00a0Cold winters. \u00a0Warm, wet spring. \u00a0Hot summers. \u00a0Cool falls.<\/p>\n
